Combining UAV and Landsat data to assess glacier changes on the central Tibetan Plateau
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 In recent years, researchers have focused on the applications of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) in environmental remote sensing tasks. However, studies on glacier monitoring using UAV technology are relatively scarce, especially for high mountain ...

Modeling 2m air temperatures over mountain glaciers: Exploring the influence of katabatic cooling and external warming [PDF]
, 2015 Air temperature is one of the most relevant input variables for snow and ice melt calculations. However, local meteorological conditions, complex topography, and logistical concerns in glacierized regions make the measuring and modeling of air ...

Advances in research on changes and effects of glaciers in Xinjiang mountains
Shui kexue jinzhan, 2020 Identifying the changes and impacts of mountain glaciers is of great significance to the healthy and stable development of the mountain-oasis-desert system in Xinjiang. This paper systematically combs through the research results of the physical changes,

The formation of valley-wall rock glaciers [PDF]
, 2012 In recent years, the study of rock glaciers has increased remarkably. Substantive progress has been made, particularly in understanding the formation of rock glaciers that have developed adjacent to existing or former valley or cirque glaciers ...

Towards understanding the pattern of glacier mass balances in High Mountain Asia using regional climatic modelling [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Glaciers in High Mountain Asia (HMA) provide an important water resource for communities downstream, and they are markedly impacted by global warming, yet there is a lack of understanding of the observed glacier mass balances and their spatial ...

From Doktor Kurowski's Schneegrenze to our modern glacier equilibrium line altitude (ELA) [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 Translated into modern terminology, Kurowski suggested in 1891 that the equilibrium line altitude (ELA) of a glacier is equal to the mean altitude of the glacier when the whole glacier is in balance between accumulation and ablation.

Rapid sequestration of rock avalanche deposits within glaciers [PDF]
, 2015 Topographic development in mountainous landscapes is a complex interplay between tectonics, climate and denudation. Glaciers erode valleys to generate headwall relief, and hillslope processes control the height and retreat of the peaks.

Inventory and Distribution of Rock Glaciers in Northeastern Yakutia
Land, 2020 Rock glaciers are common forms of relief of the periglacial belt of many mountain structures in the world. They are potential sources of water in arid and semi-arid regions, and therefore their analysis is important in assessing water reserves.
